Thebs cond of Angelina Jolie's two outings as Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider of the title, with Lady Croft in a race here to uncover the resting place of the mythical Pandora's Box.

Yes, that Pandora's Box.

Which, here, is where life in earth originated from and in which disease and death still resides...

I still think Jolie was a better Lara than Vikander.

The Tomb of Ligeia- is anethor Roger Corman, Vincent Price and Edgar Allan Poe Collab.

The plot: Verden Fell (Vincent Price) is shattered after the death of his lovely wife. But, after an unexpected encounter with Lady Rowena Trevanion (Elizabeth Shepherd), Fell soon finds himself married again. Nevertheless, his late wife's spirit seems to hang over the dilapidated abbey that Fell shares with his new bride. Lady Rowena senses that something is amiss and, when she investigates, makes a horrifying discovery -- learning that Fell's dead wife is closer than she ever imagined possible.

Corman later gave Martin Scorsese permission to use a clip from the film in Mean Streets.

Roger Corman later said he thought the film was "one of the best Poe pictures and Vincent's performance in the film was very good. It was simply a matter of age."

Its a really good movie.

Lady Midnight
Welcome back to the world of Shadowhunters. Those who are familiar with Mortal Instruments would find the familiar world reassuring. However, this one is a little more charged and complex than earlier one's. This one is a little overboard with inevitability of love and sacrifice. However, for readers of Cassandra Clare, that would be a given and even expected.

In the battle between brains and brawn, it's nice to watch brains come out on top in the looks department! Although the social ineptness of highly intelligent people is portrayed, it's refreshing to see the journey each character makes throughout each season. The storylines aren't as far-fetched as some may perceive, with the fantastic Kathy Reichs giving her anthropological insight to the script.
  
Lady Georgiana sets out to start life on her own in 1920's London. Unfortunately, her social status means she isn't fit for any normal job. Even worse, there's the dead man in her bathtub. The mystery starts late, but I enjoyed every moment of this series debut.

Cora Felton meets her Japanese counterpart as a mysterious death happens in town. Now it's a race for honor to solve the crime. There's plenty of humor in this book, and the story is pretty good. But the characters are getting stale, especially Dennis. Enjoyable, but most for the fans.

I really did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did. I have never seen the original versions so I don't know how it compares but I really loved this film. The acting and singing is so good from Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. This film just draws you in and make sure you have some tissues handy. I absolutely loved it.
